but obama has publicly, at least, advanced a hawkish position. so she seems to be walking in tandem with him there. so you know it isn't really clear if she had been left to her own devices or if obama had played richard nixon and made her his kissinger, whether she would have taken positions very different from his. as it is, because she was the implementer she tried to carve out some areas of her own, networking, public diplomacy, and working on women's issues. but even in those areas, including women's issues, i'm not sure how lasting the impact is going to be. for example, if we pull completely out of afghanistan all the games that women have made, maybe lost. >> susan glasser, quick final thoughts. >> well, i guess we're all going to be talking about hillary clinton for some time to come. we are have four years to wait and speculate to see whether she runs for president or not. >> suarez: susan glaser, trudy rubin, thank you both. >> woodruff: and to the analysis of shields and brooks-- syndicated columnist mark shields and "new york times"

>> you know, the obama administration put an emphasis on alliances. and there's no question, she set out. she repaired the relationship with europeans. she brought abt closer relationships with southeast asian countries in an effort to pivot towards asia and sort of create a buffer against china. but if you look at how that translates into policy, i think there is a bigger problem. she was very good going out to a country, soothing ruffled feathers, for example, with officials in afghanistan and pakistan. and speaking out to the public. but what kind of a stin impact did it have. for example in pakistan where i was there when she deflected criticism, angry shouts from students and she had them eating out of her hands. but in pakistan the government is still providing shelter for the taliban. and there's still no real solid ra approachment between us and then. so it is very hard to see that her soothing, her repairing of applianc appliance-- alliances necessarily resulted concrte polic achievements. >> suarez: susan, wasn't it a pretty complicated mess

lisa, in recent days senior members of the obama administration have laid out an exacting detail all the terrible consequences that the sequester goes through while republicans, in many cases, have said it might not be that bad. from your reporting, can you tell who's working closer to the truth? >> well, it is hard to tell you about this is really in part a political game because it really does look like these 85 billion dollars in spending cuts will begin to take effect next fridayment it does not look as if congress, either side in congress has a real interest in resolving this issue. and the obama administration has over the past, i'm going to say, about two weeks has stepped up the pressure on republicans to say to the public, okay, dire consequences will result if these cuts take effect. that's in part because the agencies have to make the cuts across-the-board and they can't really make them without furloughs. now air traffic is just one area of the government that would-- that the white house says would be impacted. you've got national parks that are going to delay openings b

. >> woodruff: fresh from addressing the nation, president obama opened a new campaign today to sell his second-term economic plan. in turn, republicans dismissed most of his ideas as the failed policies of the past. the president flew south today, going directly to voters with his ideas for creating jobs and boosting the middle class. the post state of the union tour began in asheville, north carolina, at a plant that makes heavy-duty engines. he picked up where he had left off with his message the night before. >> our job as americans is to restore that basic bargain that says if you work hard, if you're willing to meet your responsibilities, you can get ahead. ( applause ) you can get ahead. doesn't matter what you look like, doesn't matter where you come from. our middle class, when it's growing, when it's thriving, when there are ladders of opportunity for people to do a little bit better each year and make sure that their kids are doing even better than them, that's the american dream. that's what we gotta fight for. that has to be the north star that guides everything we do. >
